With cumulative exams approaching (such as the EOCs and Collegeboard AP Test), remind students that they can access archived material in Schoology similar to how we access archived courses. Go to Courses > My Courses > Archived > Course. You can give students this pdf handout with the video linked. Remind students that doing work from an archived course does not imply that credit will be given.

Data Validation Tips
Every day we hear about the great things that Parkway teachers are doing in their classrooms. 2 Tips From Teachers is a PD series where you can get ideas from other teachers in the form of quick (under 2 min each) video tips to share what’s working in our classrooms. This week the 2 Tips From Teachers is about data validation.
Tip #1 - Using data validation with Google Forms (submitted by Jenny Proffitt in TLA)

Parent Pointer: Google Earth
written by Kristen Harms// posted by Elegan Kramer
Google Earth enables you to travel, explore, and learn about the world by interacting with a virtual globe. You can view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings, and much more.
Interact to Google Earth as a family!
Relive family trip-drop markers on the most important places and describe them. Add personal photos and videos to make it more vivid.
Plan a dream vacation-do the same thing as above, but instead, show where you would like to travel someday.
Family History Timeline-show your family’s migration history.
Find You on the Map-drop a marker on your house and family members homes. Use points of reference to identify scale and distance.
Setting up canned feedback in Google Docs or Slides
Providing timely feedback to students is important, yet time-consuming. One way to be efficient with feedback is to provide voice feedback with Mote as previously mentioned. Another method is to set up canned feedback in Preferences of Google Docs. To do this, go to Tools > Preferences and choose the Substitution tab. You will notice that Google already has some automatic substitution listed and you can continue to add some of your own. Just type in your personal abbreviation for a canned response and it will appear in the document when you use that abbreviation. You and the students can also use abbreviations with personal papers and notes.
This can also be done in Google Slides, however, you will need to repeat these procedures for Google Slides. (The canned feedback will not transfer.)
In order to highlight the changes to the students in green, you can change from Editing mode to Suggesting mode for Google Docs. Giving feedback in suggesting mode also makes your edits pop up as comments. The Suggesting mode feature is not available in Google Slides.
